Officials at popular tourist spot cave to protesters who called out Americans

Local residents of Mexico City have been making their feelings known about unwanted tourists visiting their home areas.

On Wednesday, it appears that government officials caved to the requests by announcing a preliminary plan to address gentrification and the other concerns of locals, The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Meanwhile, authorities will have a list of "reasonable rental" proposals to share, according to AP.

Brugada said her administration will consult residents on her proposal, with the goal of drafting legislation that incorporates measures to keep rents affordable.

Many protesters were calling out American tourists. 

Popular areas such as Condesa and Roma were affected.

Graffiti written on shattered glass from rocks read, "Get out of Mexico," as AP reported.

Other signs held by protesters read, among other messages, "Gringos, stop stealing our home," and "Pay taxes, learn Spanish, respect my culture."

The number of Americans living in Mexico has continued to grow to a total of 1.6 million, according to the U.S. State Department.
